OK, I'm maybe responsible for this thread turning into a diatribe. I shouted at OP 'cause he shouted at us. My mistake, and I apologize.I started programming in 1967, and over the last 50+ years I've programmed in more languages than I would want to list. I spent a decade writing in FORTRAN on a GA 18/30 (essentially a clone of the IBM 1130) with limited memory space, so you had to write EFFICIENT code, something that is a bit of a lost art these days. I also spent a decade writing in COBOL.I've not found many tasks that I couldn't find a way to write in whatever language I had available to write it in. There may be bad (or at least inefficient) languages, but there are lots of bad programmers.--Mike Nolan
I'm probably closer to Mike's "bad programmers" than I would care to admit but fully believe software is a "people problem" more than most of us realize.
